Welcome to the Internet!
It has increased the speed and frequency at which we share ideas, almost all of them unoriginal.
Ironically, you came to Hacker News to get ideas, which is in itself a giant arena for everyone to discover things that others have already discovered.
If you're looking for newness and originality, you should probably unplug.
- enraged_camel 14y agoI come to HN mostly for the discussions. In fact in most cases I read the discussion first to decide whether the article posted is worth reading in the first place. So the purpose of my comment was to warn others who do the same not to waste their time. :)
- frogpelt 14y agoWell in that case, perhaps you are consuming a slightly larger helping of original thought.
